Hi all, I did my cleaning run today with vineager/water,
just connected the leibig up and ran it flat out, will do a 2 gallon sugar wash sacraficial run later this week and try and have a go at running the cooling coil and cold finger and see if I can get this equalibrium going in the column in a practice run.
Quick question, I just about got a constant very slow trickle with the heat ( 100 deg C at outlet ) up full and cold distillate in jar, would this go any faster with an alcohol wash, or will this be as quick as it goes.
I did insulate it for the most of the run.
Cheers for all the help so far.
My first still test cleaning run

Yes it will speed up on the ethanol run but i think that top end needs introducing to a bigger bottem end...i need new glasses i think... 

When I read about the evils of drinking, I gave up reading.

will fine water slow water adjustment suffice, can't get hold of a bigger boiler just yet.
